Being willing makes you able.

You don't have to earn or deserve love. You are love. Loving is never about how others treat you. It is always about how you are treating yourself.

Investing and connecting are the key factors in turning any intention into reality.

Each precious moment of your life in which you are frozen with fear is a moment when you are not being all you can be. In the end, that hurts more than anything. Succeeding or failing does not determine if we are surviving or living. Rather it is in our ability to reach beyond our present self-imposed definition of who we are, and to risk becoming more, that we are able to feel fully alive.

When your commitment is to be loving regardless of the circumstances, there is no room for harsh words. You assert yourself not from a desire to control but from a desire to stand for who you are.

Yet if we are to live fully, we must love as though we've never been hurt, dream as though our hopes have never been dashed, and take steps toward the future as though life has never given us pain.

In order to make any permanent changes, you have to be willing. Willing to see things differently. Willing to experience new ideas. Willing to listen to the people who cheered you on rather than ones who echoed your fears.

Listen to others as if they are telling you the truth, ask questions when you aren't clear, and allow others the room to have different feelings than you. No more assigning hidden motives, prejudging and cutting people off before separating fact from fiction.

The first is based in fear, the second in fearlessness.

We are afraid of failure, of ridicule, of being rejected. We are afraid we're not good enough.

If you value yourself, you understand that you are a gift to anyone you meet.

Caring what others think about us is normal. The desire to belong is basic to human nature. But in order to feel like you truly belong, you must accept yourself for who you are. This is critical to Fearless Living.

Each moment is a moment of choice and your commitments keep you true to yourself, choice by choice.

Fear is an affirmation of your growth.

The words you say to yourself create your self image.

Forgiveness is not a one-time-only event. It is a process.
